Upgrade your operating system with AWI

The book's method is right. The hard part is doing every check, every time, especially in the week you're rushing a release. AWI does that work for you.

VERIFIED

Deterministic findings backed by evidence you can reproduce, such as duplicated passages, missing or stale chapters, placeholders, retired names, and mismatched titles or bylines.

FLAGGED FOR REVIEW

Findings that call for judgment, such as continuity, voice, and pacing. AWI shows them to you without treating them as facts. You decide.
